Arsenal v Blackpool: When is the Carabao Cup fourth round clash at the Emirates Stadium? Is it on TV and what are the odds?

The Seasiders have already seen off Barnsley, Doncaster Rovers and QPR to make the last-16 for the first time since 2007.

The game has been scheduled for the Wednesday as Arsenal play Crystal Palace on the Sunday before hosting Liverpool the following Saturday.

Is it on TV?

No. The fixture between Chelsea and Derby County on the same night, where Rams boss Frank Lampard returns to his former club, has been selected for Sky Sports coverage.
